Solution
ES On/Off switch is OFF (O).
Turn ON (I).
Gun air pressure too low (ES
indicator is amber).
Check air pressure to gun; minimum
45 psi (0.32 MPa, 3.2 bar) needed at
gun for full voltage.
Atomizing air pressure too high.
Decrease.
Fluid pressure too high.
Decrease, or replace worn tip.
Incorrect distance from gun to part.
Should be 8-12 in. (200-300 mm).
Poorly grounded parts.
Resistance must be 100 ohms or
less. Clean workpiece hangers.
